Cystitis
Inflammation of the bladder, or cystitis, may cause the frequent passage of small amounts of cloudy urine with a strong odor. Often caused by bacteria, cystitis may also develop due to drug reactions, radiation therapy, long-term catheter use or irritants.
Other cystitis symptoms may include a persistent urge to urinate, a burning feeling while urinating, blood in the urine, pelvic discomfort and low-grade fever. People who also develop nausea or vomiting, chills and back or side pain should seek medical attention.5‘Cystitis.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 14 May 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/cystitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20371306
